Earlier today at Via Mare in Greenbelt, Makati City, Neurogen-E treated the media in a round table discussion about nerve-aging. It was attended by no less Ms. Gloria Diaz 1969 Miss Universe and Neurogen-E's Brand Ambassador.

I was all ears as Ms. Diaz talked about her lifestyle and how she keeps herself active and healthy. She said it's important to live a healthy lifestyle by eating the right food, by exercising, by surrounding yourself with positive people, by not maxing out your credit card and taking vitamins appropriate for your age.

Ms. Diaz also showed and taught us one of her favorite hobby - flower arrangement.

I didn't say much to Ms. Diaz but when the host asked who wants to have a photo taken with 1969 Ms. Universe, I was the first to go. I was starstrucked I even asked for two shots!

About Neurogen-E: It contains the right dose of B-Complex Vitamins (Vitamins B1, B6 and B12) and Vitamin E that help in nerve regeneration. It is intended for mature adults.

Having children and husband with sweet tooth requires me to bring sweet pasalubong every time I go out. I'm just too happy that the newest branch of Cupcakes by Sonja is near my place, located at the East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza Mall. Now it's much easier for my family to have that sweet fix when the craving calls.

Having Cupcakes by Sonja allows you to help as they partnered with Move.org - non-profit group that helps in feeding our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Cupcakes by Sonja is not only a treat by itself, the store is visually appealing, photo op is a must...

It was a night to remember last night at Solar office in Makati City as I got to meet in person internationally acclaimed director, Brillante Mendoza. Media were treated to the preview of Director Mendoza's movie Sapi, starrring Meryll Soriano, Dennis Trillo and Baron Geisler.

Sapi follows an ambitious television news producer who risks her life in ways she never imagined in order to get footage of a live exorcism that she believes will give her the big break she desperately seeks. This horror film's running time is 1 hour and 42 minutes. It will be shown in cinemas on November 6, 2013.

It's been quite awhile since I last clean my messages in FB so last week I read all the messages and deleted conversations but 2 unread messages kept highlighted. When I checked it was in the "Other", meaning these are messages sent by people not in my friends' list.

And just yesterday I received again another message...

I'm posting this to warn you from immediately adding people in FB as a very close friend of mine was victimized by these unscrupulous people. Her identity will be kept confidential. With her permission she allowed me to use her sad and bad story to warn women.

Her story...

"The guy from another country messaged me in Facebook asking for friendship. Then I accepted his friend request. For three months we chatted religiously and got to know each other. He even showed me documents proving his identity. He called me frequently, as in almost everyday. Well, mostly when he needed something from me, I believed everything he told me and then I fell for him. One day he went to Nigeria to buy oil for his gas station business in United Kingdom but he was trapped in some kind of tight situation so he asked for my help by sending $1000. I sent him the amount stated immediately because I felt sorry with his dire state. Sadly, it was the end of it all. I didn't see him anymore in FB. He vanished without a trace. I allowed my friend, Joy, to use my true story to make women aware and never trust anybody that just pretend to be somebody".

My note:

Facebook is a great tool to connect with friends and loved ones near or far but don't go lookin' for romance via this platform. Pretentious people are lurking to find and victimize people who easily gets trap in the name of L-O-V-E. Be wary about this kind of Facebook scam.

Axe presented to media yesterday at Aracama the three-man Philippine delegation who will be sent in Space Camp in Orlando, Florida, in December. They are Evan Rey Datuin, Ramil Santos and Daniel Angelo Roque. The three will join over a hundred candidates from more than 60 countries to undergo training missions designed to simulate space flight and astronaut training for real.

GLOBAL fragrance brand Axe launched worldwide in January 10 this Axe Apollo Contest that drew millions of people through www.axeapollo.com for a chance go to space. Philippines got 28,000 applicants, who were then short-listed to 4,485 through the Axe Apollo National Challenges. "We are actually No. 4 in terms of the number of applicants all over the world to the Axe Apollo, and the first in Asia so, we’ve been awarded one extra slot.”. Axe Philippines Brand Manager Gem Laforteza said.

There will be three main events the candidates will have to endure in the four-day training in the space camp. First is the G-Centrifuge Training, wherein participants will be subjected to hyper gravity so as to feel the effect of a higher amount of gravity on their bodies.Second is they will undergo the parabolic flight aboard a spacecraft that will free fall at the speed of gravity simulating 20 seconds of weightlessness. And last is hyper speed flight, where they will be riding aboard a jet that will fly twice the speed of sound.

From the 23 individuals who will make it to the last cut for the space trip, one seat is already guaranteed for a Filipino for the space flight by mid-2014, according to Laforteza.
